Menu Plan for August 9-15, 2020

Hi there!  Here we are, heading towards the middle of August, and we had just wonderful weather last week!  Very cool and not humid, just perfect for being outside.  This coming week, not so much!  Back to the heat and humidity.  

School starts this week for the grandkids, so they are excited as they can be!  They haven't been in school since March, because of COVID, so they are happy to be with their friends and teachers they love!  One just moved to college this weekend, the other will be a junior in high school, and the little one is a 4th grader this year.  Lots of changes to the way they usually do things, but I think they will adapt just fine.

This week's menu plan is on the easy side, due to a busy week.  I still watch the little one before and after school, so it cuts my dinner prep time to not much!  So I have to do most of the prep during the day while they are at school.  Hopefully we will all stay healthy and have a better year this year than last year!

Here is my menu plan for the week:

Notes and recipe links are below.

Sunday:

Gluten Free Pineapple Upside Down Cake is from Betty Crocker

Tuesday:

Disney's Grey Stuff is from Mantitlement

Wednesday:

Crockpot Roast Beef is from The Slow-Roasted Italian

French Silk Pie is from The Recipe Rebel

Thursday:

Gluten Free Sweet and Sour Chicken is from Recipes

Friday:

Gluten Free Chocolate Muffins are from Mama Knows Gluten Free

Instant Pot Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin is from Slimming Eats

Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake is from Fearless Dining

Saturday:

And that's it for this week!  Hope you find a recipe or two to try out!  Have a great week!

This week's menu plan - update

Hello there!

Well, I am stumped.  I keep getting emails saying that people are having trouble viewing my menus, and/or that the links don't work.  So I have tried viewing it on different tablets and different computers, and it always works for me!  So I am stumped!  I don't know how this is happening, but what I do know is that I feel so bad for people who are trying to see it but can't.  

So I am going to revamp this thing.  I like using Google Sites, but if it doesn't work for everyone, then what's the point?  I will come up with a new strategy!  But for this week, I decided to just post the menu plan right here.  That way you can see it right here, and hopefully by next week I will come up with a plan that works!

Here is this week's menu plan:

Sunday Breakfast:  Country Egg Skillet, Toast, Orange Slices

Sunday Dinner:  Grilled Skirt Steak, Baked Potato, Tossed Salad

Sunday Dessert:  Gluten Free Lemon Cream Pie 

Monday Breakfast:  French Toast, Bacon Strawberries

Monday Dinner:    BBQ Ranch Grilled Chicken, Broccoli, Pepper Jack Rice

So there you have it!  Now for me, back to the drawing board!  Hope you have a good week!

Weekly Menu Plan for Aug 2-8, 2020

So here we are in August already!  I am continuing with the same format as last week.

I have found that using Google Sites to post my menu is working, at least for me.  I had a comment from someone last week that the links were not working, but when I checked it they all worked.  

Has anyone else had that problem?  If so, would you please let me know?  I would appreciate it!

This week, I am trying to use the grill a few times, to keep the heat out of the kitchen.  It's been pretty hot here!  Salads and sandwiches are what I like to make when it's hot.  Nothing too heavy, it just doesn't taste good to me now!  But in the fall......back to baking!

CLICK HERE for this week's menu plan.  

I plan on posting the whole month's menu plan on the same page using Google Sites, so at the end of the month you can see the whole month's menus!  That should give you some more ideas, if you need some!

Have a great week!
